Oh, and > it also has some great hooks and is quite catchy. Finally a fucking good reply. It's been months since last one. I do not see any difference in quality of Come To Daddy and any other Richard's release (only Joyrex-es are better). But Come To Daddy is definetly not a comment or joke on Prodigy. I'd but it in one of RDJ's best experiments in techno. > If this is pop, give me more... This is the smartest sentence in days. But, what is all this if it's not pop ? It's popular music as I get it. It certainly is popular coz if it isn't then we wouldn't be talking about it now, would we ? > pa Speaking of pop, anyone else out there into the new Spice Girls > single, Spice up Your Life?
